Microsoft is on a tear lately. In addition to its investment in OpenAI and its recent “acquisition” of Inflection AI, Microsoft also invested in French startup Mistral.
We're announcing a multi-year partnership with @MistralAI, as we build on our commitment to offer customers the best choice of open and foundation models on Azure. https://t.co/k1L7lfFeES

Microsoft recently acquired Inflection for $650 million, an AI startup founded by Mustafa Suleyman, former head of applied AI at DeepMind, an AI company acquired by Google.
Acquire might be the wrong way to describe this deal though. Technically, Microsoft is licensing Inflection’s software for $650 million while the company hired nearly all of Inflection’s staff. Inflection, in turn, is using that money to pay a “positive” return to investors. I use quotes because positive here is a technicality. I explain mor ..read more

When I was in Melbourne, Australia last year, I had the most wonderful opportunity to spend time with my friend Dave Anderson.
We met at a wine bar, he brought a ton of AV gear, and we recorded a podcast while enjoying a glass of wine.
What did we talk about?
Here are the topics we covered…
– Mega and Micro Trends; how do we keep up?
– AI…How do we embrace it?
– What’s going on with Digital Experience? Are we getting it right or wrong?
– Champagne or Wine?
– Q on Q vs Long Term Vision. How to balance both.
– Cultural and leadership Empathy.
I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!

Google is exploring options to charge for “premium” features powered by generative artificial intelligence (genAI), which could rock its core search business and the search industry at large.
The idea is to introduce value-added AI services into its premium subscription, which also offers Gemini AI assistant in Gmail and Google Docs. Google’s traditional search engine would remain free to users, supported by advertising. But charging for enhanced search features could be a ..read more

Google released a “prompt guide” for Gemini in Google Workspace. Think of it as text-based ‘co-pilot’ to help users in Google Workspace get the most out of the Gemini large language model assistant. OpenAI did something similar with ChatGPT in January 2024 (infographic here.)
The guide provides valuable tips and best practices for crafting effective prompts to get the most out of Gemini, such as using clear and concise language, providing context, using specific keywords, and breaking down complex tasks.

Is prompt engineering a passing fad? Will AI learn to prompt itself based on your desired outcome?
Writing for Harvard Business Review, Oguz A. Acar believes that “AI Prompt Engineering Isn’t the Future.” Instead, he believes the future lies in prompt formulation and problem solving.
The truth is that prompt engineering is a continuous experiment and unique to each AI model. And as Acar suggests, alternative approaches are boundless.
Tell the chatbot that the output is important to your job or project or give it encouragement, “you are the smartest GPT in the world” or us ..read more

AInsights: Executive-level insights on the latest in generative AI…
As a keynote speaker, I engage with executives in every industry at varying levels of technological maturity and curiosity. Several years ago, I would ask audiences, “how many of you believe that AI will take jobs?”
Almost every hand would go up.
I would then ask, “how many of you believe AI will take your job?”
Almost every hand would go down.
I tried that question again recently at a conference in Italy.
This time, every hand stayed up.
So when you read a headline like this, “Generative A ..read more

For those of you who followed my work over the years, thank you.
I’ve always been reluctant to pull the curtain back to tell my story. Honestly, I have a hard time talking about myself, even if it’s personal. I open up more about this in the video/links below…
My friends Nathalie Nahai and Dr. Aaron Balick launched a new community, “Time To Show Up,” to help professionals reconnect with their values, creative drive and personal mission.
I was asked if I would share my story.
I’ve shared a glass of wine or two at conferences around the world with them. I trust them. So, I said OK.
Here is tha ..read more
